Configuring IPSec for Secure Packet Exchange

An IP Security (IPSec) tunnel allows access to a private network through a secure tunnel. This feature is particularly useful when a private network is divided among multiple sites, and transit between the sites must occur on a public network. To ensure secure transport of packets across the public network to the multiple sites, individual tunnels are configured. Network Address Translation (NAT) enables packets outbound through a tunnel to be filtered by source address.

You must have a license to configure an IPSec tunnel. For license details, see the J-series Services Router Administration Guide.

This chapter contains the following topics. For more information about IPSec and NAT, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide and the JUNOS Services Interfaces Configuration Guide.
